ESX 3.5U1 upgrade path

Is an upgrade from ESX 3.5 U1 directly to ESX 3.5 U5 supported? Or do I have to go up 1 level at a time?

Thanks in advance

Yes, please refer to the release notes of ESX 3.5u5: http://www.vmware.com/support/vi3/doc/vi3_esx35u5_rel_notes.html

Specifically Upgrading or Migrating to ESX Server 3.5 Update 5 which gives you a nice chart

If you take a look at the chart, even base ESX 3.5 is supported. One way to find out is to run:

esxupdate -l query

If you have any Updates, it'll list it out if you're on u1,u2,etc. else you're probably on base 3.5. Again, all 3.5 releases are supported, so you should be fine
